Death of Mike Kasseson
Mike Kosesan was born at Salem, Austria Hungary, April 11, 1851 and died at his home near Payette, April 15, at the age of 74 years and four days. On October 8, 1876, he was married to Anna Versching. To this union eight children were born; six boys dying in childhood. The two surviving children are Alice, wife of Lawrence Specht and Nick Kosesan, both of North Payette. He with his wife and children came to the United States in 1906, coming to Payette in 1917. Besides his immediate family he leaves seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild and a brother and sister in Austria. When a small child Mr. Kosesan was baptized in the Catholic church. He was a good husband and father and a kind neighbor and very industrious, always busy about the ranch and was about his usual morning chores when he was stricken, two days before his death.
The funeral was held at the home of his son, Nick, this afternoon, at three o'clock, conducted by Rev. Newman of the Evangelical Church. Interment in Riverside cemetery. The sympathy of the entire community goes out in the bereaved family and especially in the aged wife, who is almost prostrate with grief.
